Anyone remember his name ?
After doing some research the guy's name was Quadracer, had over a thousand posts, last posted a couple of years ago, I'm sure it must be the same car.

Probably because the owner colour coded them him/herself, a bit like the brake calipers. My calipers aren't yellow, are yours?
Actually the wing mirrors were always yellow on the yellow 35is. The 35is in Valencia Orange also has orange wing mirrors, they were special colours with interior packages you could only get with that colour and they had wing mirrors in body colour too.

And - on Google - it looks as if they had yellow calipers, too.

Yellow mirrors yes, but definitely not yellow calipers

I wonder what mine's worth … it appears to have everything known to man on it and has done around 7k miles. I don't use it very often!

There's a 2011 https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified ... 2014512143? in Mansfield, under budget but over your desired mileage. No nav but looks like that can be cured with Anubis's thread on the Android alternative to idrive. Interior looks lovely with Alcantara and contrasting stitching

Love that colour but not everyone's cup of tea! You'd never lose it in a car park.. :rofl:

Thank you so much for letting me know about this car! It does not show on auto trader if you filter by model to "35is" oddly enough. I can let the Nav go, and the mileage is acceptable. The car looks beautiful, I am a sucker for the colour, and the alcantara wrapped dash with yellow stitching! I have reserved the car and am going to view the car this week.

Fingers crossed!

No problem, it came up on my search which is set as "3.0 auto". Hope it's as good as it looks, are you far from Mansfield?

So as an update to this, had a busy couple of months but still in the market. I have seen a number of 2010 35is cars priced at £19k fly off the shelf from BMW, they sell very fast it seems. There is currently a 2010 35is priced at £15k with iDrive, and circa 40k miles on the clock from a trade seller, I am just not keen on the exterior and interior colour, so hanging tight until something pops up!
